What Makes Palau Distinct

Palau protects what it loves — the reef, the jellyfish, the sharks. In doing so, it shows the world what it means to truly value a place.

Eat

What to Eat in Palau

Taro Soup

Palau's most traditional dish — taro leaves simmered with coconut cream and fresh fish from the lagoon.

Grilled Reef Fish

Freshly caught parrotfish, snapper, or tuna grilled over charcoal — simple, fresh, and Palauan.

Coconut Crab

The world's largest land arthropod — a rare delicacy in Palau, slow-cooked or steamed with coconut.

Filipino Influences

Palau's large Filipino community means excellent adobo, kare-kare, and lechon alongside local dishes.

Bat Soup

A traditional Palauan delicacy — fruit bats boiled in coconut broth, not for the faint-hearted.
